Nancy MacLean generated much discussion and controversy when she released her book Democracy in Chains, which purports to explain how the “radical Right” — in which she includes the most implausible figures — conspired to take over America.
The book is the standard leftist hysteria about outcomes that will obviously never come to pass, plus a healthy serving of innuendo and downright manufactured claims. Tom DiLorenzo and I have fun with it.
